We experience again and again the gift of taking up and delivering, the receiving and releasing in the breath. Always on the new the breath the poles of our Seins, the changes of our ground connection life shows us. In the breath we experience the connection with everything, breathe we all nevertheless the same air. Humans such as animals. And with the plants we stand in a completely special exchange, without them lacked it us oxygen and them carbon dioxide. We are one on the other dependent. The breath that we may be individual, clarifies us at the same time is singular: we have our own breath rhythms, which adapt to the outward conditions in the best way.

In the Luna Yoga try I, the participation to a generous to encourage far breath river. The breath may come and be involved freely and inserts themselves usually completely from alone into the exercises. Sometimes it can be interesting to insert certain breath ways into an exercise inhale with opening attitudes or movements and breathe out with closing forms. Sometimes the contrary breath guidance opens interesting in and views. It pleases me to experiment and to encourage the practicing for trying out.

In the breath I would like few herumfummeln. I inform the different Pranayamaformen from the classical Yoga only if I experienced humans longer in my courses. Even then I do not even stay in the breath exercises too long. I too often received in my training in India and North America as well as Europe that humans ausflippten thereby. That is not my goal.

The way of my instruction comes not only from the Yoga, but also from shame anise tables techniques. I at the same time employ with modern medical research and build myself these realizations after possibility into my instruction. Since I stress in the Luna Yoga Kraft in the basin, I train for breathing into the basin area. That happens best, by lying the hands on the basin, then flows the breath usually completely from alone there. Or the practicing notice whether under its hands the abdominal wall moves or not.

The Schatzkästlein of the strong medicine in the Luna Yoga are fertility dances. With these the breath guidance plays a large role, from it depends the effectiveness of the strong movements in a large measure. Actually one cannot separate body and breath exercises, just as few as bodies to separate spirit and soul is, goes it in the Yoga nevertheless around the unit, the agreement.
